Dear All,

I almost completely endorse Abhishek Jain's views.

My small caveat is about his statement, "only criticise the ruling party and don't give too much importance to BJP by mentioning them". This can give the impression that Anna is supporting the BJP. Since the Congress is the ruling party, and they've been ruling the country badly, which is what started this movement, Anna is justified in criticizing the Congress the Congress, but on relevant issues, surely there's nothing wrong in criticizing the BJP or any other party.

But that should not mean that every time you criticize the Congress you need to criticize the BJP/ NDA/ opposition; it sounds too obvious that the reason is not to sound to be supporting the BJP/ NDA/ opposition. I think this dilutes the criticism substantially. Unless the majority of the criticism is directed at the ruling party for their genuine follies,. the criticism would lose its sting.

Abhiskhek would agree with me, I suppose.

Ganesan. :~)
